Dugaan Ramadan Round 1

These recent years, I have decided to give myself a chance and begin trusting my instincts. I was not such person before, always doubtful of myself, then one day I thought it has to stop. I have to stop overthinking and underestimating myself. I tried changing my view and soon I realized, when I trust my instincts, I make better decisions (so far, alhamdulillah, though others may disagree, tawakal is the key). And I've learned that instincts are God given. A gift. Akal. Those first instincts that cross your mind- those aren't entirely from your own knowledge but rather Allah telling you something. Example: My stamina started breaking down months ago (I noticed this the most whenever I was performing on stage) and my instincts told me to workout daily. So I did it, and I enjoyed it. 3 weeks after working out daily, I felt something was moving painfully in my body, and this only happened whenever I was cardio-skipping. Upon check-ups and tests, I found out that there were 3 bullet-sized growths in one of my breathing channels, already blocking 3-quarter of it. (Minor, nothing terminal, but affecting my daily life, no?) My point is, trust your instincts. Yes. Your first, unfiltered, uncorrupted, undistorted instincts. That's probably God telling you something. I'm glad I listened. Thank you for your prayers. P.S. I believe women are blessed with the best instincts. I might sound bias but you have to agree that moms' instincts are the creepiest. Cannot tipu mak. She can bau.
